  Hogon Is Big Gun | As South carolina | Blasts Clemson COLUMBIA, S. c., Oct. 2l.- An old South Carolina football hero was back in business at the old stand today. Harold “Bo” Hagan, one Of the slickest T-formation quarterbacks in the Southern Conference when he is right. really had it yesterday as he ran and passed his Gamecock mates to a. rousing 27–⁠13 upset victory over Clemson. Hagan, kept in the shadows of comparative obscurity the past two years by a bad knee, staged one of his greatest exhibitions to give a record State Fair crowd Of $4,000 a thrill it will not forget in a hurry. Clemson, living up to its pregame role Of slight favorite in the 47th renewal of this bitter rivalry, had ground out a 1870 lead early in the second period when Hagan wheeled into acton. He got his team back into the ball game in a hurry. He sneaked over from the 3 for the first score and directed his mates to a 1913 tie at half time. Tailback Steve Wadiak plunging over from the 2. After a scoreless third period, Hagan put the Gamecocks ahead with a 40-yard pitch to End Jim Pinkerton early in the final quarter and later sneaked over again from the 2 to nail it down.
